Heaven's Gate Lyrics - Singles - Toni Childs

A man I met in my youth 

Came to me in the light of truth 

Beautiful dream that was 

Till he died one rainy fall 

There I was a child bride 

Widowed at nineteen, defied 

Never would I let him go 

Go to the place that Heaven knows 

On the evening of his death 

My shoulders felt a brushing breath 

Cold were his hands on my breast 

The man that I loved and put to rest 

He came to me and held me close 

We danced till dawn in the early snow 

There I felt him cry and cry 

I'll never leave, leave your side 

Oh, the madness 

This town thinks I'm mad 

Sixty years, has it been a dream? 

This man I'm haunted by, I see 

I'm eighty years and on my bed 

Awaiting death, that final breath 

He sits by and looks to me 

Soon you will come and be with me 

Now, I feel all warm inside 

As I leave this mortal body behind 

Seems it is eternal's way 

We're waltzing into Heaven's gate
